I think we have to define “works” for the purpose of the discussion. If working means disarming the law-abiding public to put them at the mercy of the mob, then gun control works like crazy.

Democrat fervor for gun control has always been about punishing those wrong-headed conservatives. Control and punish them for not believing the liberal way.

Leftists know it is a right very important to us, so that makes destroying it so much more attractive to them.

Taking guns from law abiding citizens won’t make criminals less dangerous.

Out of all the thousands of gun laws which one would have prevented any shooting?

They want it because they hate people who don’t agree with them. Anything that inconveniences or punishes dissent they’re all for.

Gun control (confiscation) works extremely well for those that wish government tyranny of its citizens.

Germany prior to WWII.
Russia after the Bolshevik revolution.
All of Eastern Europe when under the control of the USSR.
England, France and other so called free nations of Europe.
Venezuela
China etc.

The list is much longer than what few I posted.

A firearm in the hand of a free, moral and honest man or woman is a force for good and freedom.

Democrats are never concerned with actually solving problems - in fact, that’s bad for them - real solutions cause them to lose the issues which they raise such a fuss about to destroy the people who are really trying to solve problems and allow the ‘rats to work their way into power......

It’s a rallying point for the base. Gun control, abortion, gay marriage, climate change. Gun control probably has the widest appeal, abortion the deepest and strongest.

That’s exactly what it means to proponents. Though lots of their supporters think they’ll be safer.

Actually Antifa was founded by German Communists in the late 20s. The Weimer banned some political militias including Communists, so the created Antifa. Hitler shut them down, along with everyone else, after assuming poser. Same name, same flag as todays Antifa. Which to me makes them a Communist militia. Had a resurgence in Europe after the wall came down. I believe considered a terror group for awhile by several countries. Why a resurgence of an antifascist group? I don’t see many fascist governments in 1980s 1990s Europe. I do see a reason for a Communist resistance.
